Braided cable sleeve stuff?

Craig321 · 19 May 2020 at 20:06

I’ve just been reading this review after ordering the Fractal Define 7 and love the braided cable sleeve things they have on the back side of the motherboard

Where can I get some that’s going to be that wide?

It looks like just your standard braided PSU cables. It looks like a BeQuiet PSU, and they come with braided cables, or at least that one does.

I meant the thick black one on the last pic on that page, it looks like they've stuck all their cables in some braiding?

Think that is just the 24 pin braided cable like Vader said.

If you are after wrapping all your cables together, search for either Techflex F6 or Techflex Flexowrap. Not used this stuff myself, but looks to be what you are after.

You can get it in different diameters to fit your needs.

Oh! It just looks way thicker than what i’m used to. It has been 8 years since I’ve built a new PC, so maybe things have changed!

Cheers. Will have a look at the techflex stuff

Just standard cable braiding mate, it's thicker because the 24 pin ATX is thicker. It's common on all half-decent PSUs.

For cable sleeving I use MDPC-X, it's a little pricey, but it's very high quality, a dream to work with, and comes in some awesome colours.

Nice! That stuff looks amazing. I'm building tomorrow/Friday, so will figure out what colour I want and where I want it, then can add some nice sleeving after

Thanks

No probs, be sure to get some heatshrink. Get adhesive lined if you want it to stay, or normal if you're planning on doing the old shrink and remove thing.

If you're doing SATA cables they do sleeving designed specifically for it, it's good.

Okay, interested in seeing the outcome.
